The Doctor and Martha arrive on the beautiful and peaceful earth colony of [[Harankast]]. Only the Doctor hears a buzzing sound in the distance while a local vagrant introduces himself as Joseph Manver. Manver warns them of things not right, government conspiracies, young people disappearing and weird creatures. | The Doctor and Martha arrive on the beautiful and peaceful earth colony of [[Harankast]].

The Doctor and Martha's arrival was also seen by the native Ranfo, giant, tailed, frog-like creatures who kidnap them and take them back to their camp, where an uprising against the city dwellers is being planned. The City Dwellers are destroying the planet by riding around in their new cars which produce toxic clouds to destroy the countryside. The people, who once lived in harmony with the Ranfo, seem to be oblivious to their damage | The Doctor and Martha's arrival was also seen by the native Ranfo, giant, tailed, frog-like creatures who kidnap them and take them back to their camp, where an uprising against the city dwellers is being planned.

The Doctor realises they are being influenced by a brainwashing beam that only he can hear. A multitude of artificial flies act like aerials. They beam the signals to the colonists. Each of the flies carries the logo of Manver Autos, the maker of the new environmentally unfriendly cars. The vagrant they met on arrival, Joseph Manver, had picked up their arrival. Suspecting they may upset his plans to convince the colonists to buy his new cars, he met the Doctor and Martha undercover to check out how much of a threat they pose. | The Doctor realises they are being influenced by a brainwashing beam that only he can hear.

Manver orders the flies to attack but the Ranfo attack the flies. The Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to disable the flies' shared network. The colonists are no longer under Manver's influence. After a joy ride back to the TARDIS on the back of the Ranfo, Joseph Manver is led away by the police. | Manver orders the flies to attack but the Ranfo attack the flies.
